I don't think it's a coincidence that the older breeders, have slower maturing stock. Of course I speak only about the Hammonds and Boudreaux blood. Both have real similar founding blood. Hammonds' always seemed to use the Bully/Eli Jr stuff as a catalyst. However, there's a lot of capatibility in both lines.

You have a very well bred, impressive pedigree and I'm sure the dog lives up to it or he wouldn't be offered to stud. Very nice stuff.

I wish you were closer. I've seen a few crossed with my line and it produces extremely well.

Kudos
